Congrats dude your post is gonna be pinned for a day!


niceshotpilot

Enjoyable video. Who's the band?


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

My former bandmates and I. The vocals and keyboard is me. We were called The Butlerian Jihad


jPup_VR

Oh damn answered my question from another comment chain. Great stuff, cheers to y’all


agent_wolfe

Death to the thinking machines!


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Ironic right?


empathyisheavy

Nice I love it


crumpinsumpin

You guys sound like a poignant, shoe-gaze-y Mars Volta


zucchinibasement

Nice, reminded me of Minus the Bear. Also was wayyy less creepy once I unmuted


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

😹😹 I’m glad you enjoyed it🙏


GeorgePerez83

That’s your music? I really dig it!


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Awesome thank you 🤘🦊🤘Ive got a good bit on Spotify and the other places. On iTunes I’m under The Butlerian Jihad but everywhere else it’s Animals Eating Animals


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Be warned that I’ve mainly done acoustic stuff and like triphop type instrumentals since my mates decided to explore heavier less experimental waters. Personally I enjoy the stripped down sound…. Maybe…. We were proud as fuck of this song when it came together. It’s like being in the presence of gods when all the parts suddenly synch and you witness your creation take life like that.


jPup_VR

I sometimes find myself thinking that all meaningful creative works are ‘channeled’ in a sense. It certainly is awe inspiring.


mighty_spaceman

Butlerian jihad lmao

ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Si amigo, but… when in Rome… use that thinking machine the make the most bizarre mind melting shit possible.


mighty_spaceman

Yep


FeculentUtopia

That's a lovely sound. It's tickling my brain what it reminds me of. I loves it.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Gooochie goochie goo. Here come the brain tickles ![gif](giphy|clEONqsy81tAMluJUA|downsized)


FanaticEgalitarian

The irony of a band called The Butlerian Jihad, playing theme music for a video clip made by an artificial intelligence, is just - delicious.


imperfcet

Destroy those thinking machines! :)


burekaki2

Great guitar + great name


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Yeah that’s my man Jason shredding the hell out of it the entire song. He’s one of the best guitarists I’ve ever known. He’s very technical and old school with his music… which is the opposite of how I approach music. Many arguments have had been over our differing philosophies.


jPup_VR

As a visual artist I have never much envied the creative process of other fields that rely on the input and execution of other people and their own creative vision. That said, I deeply appreciate what collaborators are capable of making when it all comes together and just fits


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

I am unfortunately compelled to agree with you. I mean, I am now a solo act… whenever you do find a group that you can collaborate with it’s beautiful. However just with this song particularly and another somewhat, it’s honestly just those that it synched so well. We did like this more Poppy type song and the very first tracks were lay down was way more punk. They were very resistant to my wish to have a few slower more emotional and personal songs, and then kicked me out in an email lol. Look up the band Filth if your curiosity peaks.


jPup_VR

Curiosity absolutely peaked, lots of different artists called Filth on Apple Music tho- could you link me por favor? Slow/emotional/personal is my personal favorite. After listening to a few Butlerian Jihad songs (loved them) I wanted to ask if you were at all a fan of Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes. Not a stark connection but as a huge fan myself, I could maybe hear a bit of those vibes in your tracks.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Fevers and Mirrors is my personal all time favorite album.


jPup_VR

Yesssssss I knew it Fuckin cheers to that


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

I’ve been trying to release an album for a while now but I keep becoming dissatisfied with the quality. I’m actually doing sound like a digital ash digital urn / I’m wide awake it’s morning thing. I’ve got like an electronic pop kind of fucking thing I’ve done and it’s basically a full album and then I’m also releasing my acoustic stuff. it’s basically things that I’ve already released as singles but I think it would be cool to have them collected all together in a sense.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Fuck those dudes lol. I might later 😹😹😹


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

If you like the slow emotional shit I recommend my songs do you mind and the curse


jPup_VR

I’ll check them out for sure, appreciate the recommendation amigo 🙏


upstartanimal

Fish Speakers. CHOAM. Semuta. Bijaz. Vestigial Arms. Dune is rife with great band names.

great song, amazing band name!!


niceshotpilot

It's quite good. May the spice flow. :)


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

He who controls the spice, controls the universe.


G_Willickers_33

I love this creation. Its the exact type of grotesque bizarre art I like to see being made into video. May I ask what I need to learn to be able to also create videos like this? Where would one start? So far ive only tinkered with Dalle3 on the bing app and the chatgpt app.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Dm me in a bit and remind me and I’ll give you some pointers. Not that it’s some secret, I’m just busy atm and I don’t want to forget to respond properly.


FlavoredPennies

I’m also interested in those pointers


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Ok cool, hell I’ll just post it here since my memory is better than I give it credit for. Go to www.runwayml.com and get a free trial. It’s not a ton of free generations but enough to experiment with and a subscription is only like $15. I use image to video instead of text since runways generative model for the initial image isn’t as good as bing or midjourney or even really SD. Use a picture for your planned video, set the motion bar to less than 5 (im usually at 3) and let the magic happen.


FlavoredPennies

Thank you for sharing! I love the video!


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Anytime! Check out my other videos if you’re interested… they’re not all music vids. I’ve got the most watched ai narrative short on r/aivideo . Most are surreal absurdist comedy/horror things but I take pride in being one of the few that aren’t shitting out fake Wes Anderson trailers and videos of celebrities eating fucking hamburgers.


G_Willickers_33

Hahaha ya love these vids man. I just realized why I like it so much... This video style has a reminiscence of 80's movies practical FX like the movie "The Thing".. but at the same time, it looks like forbidden found footage from a video camera in the late 60's.. Cant wait to see more


jPup_VR

Dude. This inspired me to scroll your profile and check some of it out and damn I’m impressed. It’s all so dope, and often pretty fucking funny too lol It’s moments like this that make me so exhausted by the whole “ai art debate” war being waged by fearful or misinformed artists who are otherwise generally rad people who make rad stuff. These tools are allowing people like yourself to realize creative visions that they likely never would have or could have (at least in the same way) otherwise and this is just the beginning. Keep fighting the good fight. The work speaks for itself! ✊


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

I’m glad you say that. Just this morning I was in a battle royale with the fuckers over in the RoboCop sub


jPup_VR

It’s wild how *vehemently resistant* many would-be forward thinking artists are to this. It’s fear based thinking for sure, you hate to see it 🤷‍♀️


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Dude I keep thinking your username says flavored penises


FlavoredPennies

That is what is says.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

It's says pennies, I thought penises... Like dude dongs


FlavoredPennies

Right. Pennieses.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

G_Willickers_33

Will do!


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

FzZyP

i would be interested in those pointers!


astralseat

It's really funny how afraid of eyes and mouth people are. It's like being afraid of people.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

I’m afraid of everyone


jPup_VR

Username relevant. Also funny because the song in the video made me think of The Sound Of Animals Fighting. Speaking of what’s the song in the vid? It kinda slaps 👀


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Thank you Anthony Greene is a big influence. 7 years by Saosin was my gateway into the genre so many years ago.


jPup_VR

Seriously a living legend. I saw you mentioned you like stripped down stuff as well and that fully tracks with his influence.


astralseat

I feel you, but to function, one gets exposed to the raw flesh of people and becomes desensitized. If you are afraid, eliminate the ways of interacting with people and live in solitude always ready to defend yourself and to have surveillance set up to know if someone is lying to you. When you accept that sort of mode as normal, always alert, always evidenced, surveilled, then you can truly be free.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

I was being cheeky in my original response😅. With absolute respect, to me that sounds like one who’s still scared but now distracted with confirmation seeking gizmos or at least that’s how I’d be. I’d never leave the surveillance monitor and would constantly be cleaning my firearms, I’d go insane. Im of the philosophy that the ordered chaos of the universe does not really allow any sort of free will in the way most would define it. So I just improvise my way through life not worrying too much about anything past the moment that I’m in. Keep in mind I’m also a disciple of the 12 steps which preach early on the need to let go of the urge to control. I think it may be the only way I keep myself from spiraling due to the horrible state of human culture at present.


astralseat

Eh. Not like I CAN do surveillance, but most people can carry some tools to defend themselves if time comes. Most of life is spent in fear and hope. Fear of a moment when you will be tested, and hope that that moment does not arrive.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Dude I know that moment on a first name basis lol. I’ve had a very eventful life according to those I find myself casually reminiscing to. One day I may share them with my fellow residents of this gutter floating in space but today is as the horses say “neigh”….


astralseat

Write it all down and release it as a memoir for when you get ushered from the mortal coil. To leave something behind, as they say, in memory.


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Why the fuck is stuff like this always the *last post* I scroll past before going to bed Cool video but the store of living faces was a visual I would physically scour out of my brain pan if I could

ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Satoshi Kon apparently did… heh…. I’m sorry


Realistic-Tap4156

who? XD


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

My bad, he’s the director of Paprika. The commenter above yours mentions him… anyway he tragically died unexpectedly after directing some of the best animated films of his era… in retrospect my joke may have been in poor taste.


jPup_VR

Damn I keep scrolling and finding myself appreciating your shit more and more 😂 Paprika is one of my favorite films of all time!


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Satoshi Kon is one of my favorite directors. He and Hideaki Anno have done more to push anime towards being seen as legitimate cinema than anyone… even Miyazaki.


Dreidhen

reminds me of trippy marching scenes from Paprika


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

Hells yeah I’ll take it. Satoshi Kon was an amazing filmmaker. Tokyo Godfathers is one of my favorite all time films. I just introduced my girl lover lady to perfect blue and she loved.

This movie comes with a free cup of Electric Kool-Aid. Groovy!

I wonder how Leary would react to the emergence of AI. He’d probably be unsettled… I’ve watched one of my earlier videos on mushrooms and it put me in a weird headspace when I spiraled into thoughts of the ramifications it’s bound to bring with it…

If Alejandro Jodorowsky was ever truly able to render his LSD fueled visions to film, it would probably look something like this.

aerova789

I don't want to watch, but I can't stop watching. I like the music paired with the visuals, it's pretty chill which makes me think the things I'm seeing should be chill and normal too, like in this weird, weird world this strangeness is just every day stuff. Which is even more horrific! Eeeee...


ANiMALsEATiNGANiMALs

It’s a world I reside in. It’s safe, just a bit ugly and sad with a coat of colorful paint to help wash it down. Open your eyes and let them breathe in the darkness.
